Kryolan Dermacolour Concealer Stick

I have always had a love-hate relationship with concealers, but recently one was recommended to me by a member of our audience - and I can’t thank her enough. Here’s why.  

• What Is It: A petite stick concealer which completely conceals everything from blemishes to dark circles.
• Why buy: It’s great for touch ups on the go, and does what it promises.
• The Details: Kryolan Dermacolour Concealer Stick comes in three shades, C1, C2, and C3, and it costs rrp: $29.70, available from www.adorebeauty.com.au.

Road Test

I’ve used a concealer as long as I can remember, the main reason being dark circles under my eyes. I’ve always had them, even in my teens, and late nights, working too hard, travel and not following my usual healthy diet just makes them worse. Over the years I’ve tried virtually every new concealer, from inexpensive supermarket brands right up expensive luxury ones, and more often than not I’m disappointed with the results. Many don’t do what they promise, some actually cause breakouts, and most just don’t give you the results you want. Then Kryolan Dermacolour Concealer Stick was recommended to me by a follower of Beauty In Travel, and thanks to her it has not only banished my dark circles, but also become my favourite concealer of all time. The reason why is simple - it does what it promises. Add to that it’s long lasting, it looks natural, and it feels great on the skin, and you have an affordable concealer you won’t want to be without. Ever. I road tested the C2 shade which was perfect for my summer touched skin. It was easy to apply. After allowing my eye cream to settle on my skin, I applied using a concealer brush (although you can just use the stick and your fingertips to pat down). Even though it gives camouflage level coverage, the formula isn’t heavy or thick; in fact it’s very creamy, and melts onto the skin to product a natural finish. It also stays put throughout the day, whether your working, hitting the beach or travelling. Kryolan supplies professional makeup to theatres, and I’m told it’s loved by professional makeup artists. And from my first foray into Kryolan products with this concealer stick, it’s easy to see why.

Beauty In Travel Loves 

• The concealer is as small as a lipstick, so it’s great for travellers as it takes up little room.
• It is creamy and easy to apply on the go.
• It completely covers up dark circles.
• As it contains antibacterial agents you can safely use it on blemishes too.

Insider Tips  

• When I’m using the concealer at home I sweep a little onto the area required, then use a natural hair concealer brush to finish - this gets the best results.
